Students from across the state gathered at Taylor Road Baptist Church, Montgomery, for the Bible Drill and Speakers Tournament state finals April 25.
According to Sonya Tucker, an associate in the office of discipleship and family ministries at the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions, Bible Drill “is an exciting way for youth … to learn to use their Bibles to meet the challenges of life,” as well as learn poise and confidence.
Junior high students can participate in Bible Drill, while high school students can participate in both the Bible Drill and Speakers Tournament. The first place winner of the Speakers Tournament earns a scholarship to an Alabama Baptist college — Judson College in Marion, Samford University in Birmingham or the University of Mobile. (TAB)
